I still have a long list of mags to scan for Johnnyringo, does anybody want to buy a few issues at half the going rate? You would need to promise to scan each issue and get him the jpeg's or PDF as requested on his site. Site Supporters and regulars only please! Don't post if you don't have the skills, tools and time to get them to him in a timely fashion. My goal is to get the missing slots filled on his site. Thanks. I'll edit this post with a list ASAP.

The List:
BMX Action
February 1984
October 1984

Freestylin'
Fall 1984
November 1985
September 1985
April 1986

Super BMX
December 1981
January 1982
March 1982
May 1982
July 1982
August 1982

Thanks again, Johnnyringo. Always nice to add another mag to the collection.
I'll get back on the scanning as Summer winds down, kind of bummed that I got absolutely no replies to my offer above about selling mags cheap if they would help scan. I sure hope people know what it takes to scan an entire magazine, convert to PDF, and then host for FREE downloads on a site.

I don't think most people understand how much work is involved. JohnnyRingo's site is one of the most valuable research tools available. Thanks again Simon!!!

Hi Guys,

I know it's been a while since I've posted any new mags, but I've been working hard to get the new website online. Stage one is up and running and I'm interested in any feedback about the new site. Of course it wouldn't be quite as exciting if there wasn't a new magazine to download, so may I present for your viewing pleasure - the December '86 issue BMX Plus (thanks once again to Ray J.)

Enjoy,
JR.
(P.s. - Lots more great stuff coming soon).

Hey, JR.

The new site design looks good, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bummed that the "contributors" page is gone. I took great pride in seeing my name along with the many others who have worked very hard to make these magazines and books available for everyone to enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate all the work and funds that you have put into this valuable resource. Thank you!

Looks good mate.
One thing though, I used to "save link as" on the old site or straight from here. Now I have to wait (forever) for the magazine to load then Save as. Any clues ?

Hey Ron,

I may still add a conmtributors page to the new site. I haven't written it off completely just yet. Wait and see.

Simon.

I like it, nice intuitive layout. The different magazines laid out by years, with thumbnail grid of the issues available makes it easy to browse.

The descriptions under the links on the links page are fascinating too. It's an interesting and surprising insight into the great variety of possible perceptions regarding what the various sites provide.
